The games is a special event and experience and now I’m looking forward to this experience. I think it’s a great challenge to do the games and I feel a kind of pressure to come home with great images. Sailing photographers love lot’s of wind and big waves that’s a big help to shoot spectacular images. If this will be the case in Qingdao we will se.

The FA 18 is now in exposition in Lugano for the military days. It was quite a job to bring him from the Agno Airport in to the harbor with this big 200t cranes over night.

With a big raft he cruised from Agno to Lugano where he is now. The moment he crossed the brig from Melide where taken out of a helicopter.

With a bit a delay we got the Laos pictures taken in January 2007 online. After almost 10 years I had again the chance to travel for a longer period in Asia, and Laos was always one of my favorites, so let’s pack the bag and camera and go to Laos.
Untouched nature, places and a growing tourism, you can get the from 5US$ backpacker hotel up to the 300 US$ lodge, that’s Laos today.
The route was from north Luang Prabang down to south to Si Pan Don the place called 40’000 islands, but even the capital Vientiane has a lot to offer.

She is tall, has class, a speechless beauty born almost a century ago, here name is Mariquita.

Last weekend I had a special sailing experience, no it’s not about match racing no particular move just normal sailing but on a very special boat. Was in the jury for the Monaco Classic Week and as on-board observer you have plenty of opportunities to take good shots and enjoy the seamless class of this boats. On the first day I was on Wayward an typical schooner and the last day I spend on Mariquita, a real treasure.
